Mobile credit card reader basics for Pennsylvania Businesses

Wherever you can get a wireless signal, you can use a mobile credit card reader. Rather than depending on an ethernet connection or other hardwire network, a mobile card reader can stand alone or simply plug into your mobile device for service.

The service that powers a mobile credit card reader must provide you with a basic functionality keeping you within the compliance standards of PCI. That means your service needs to be point-to-point PCI compliant for you to avoid problems with compromised consumer data.

The services that back up the mobile credit card reader are the same payment processing services you would expect in a brick and mortar POS front end. A mobile credit card reader must allow you to:

Input customer credit information

Connect with your payment processing service

Query the consumers credit issuing institution for validation and approval

Return an approved or declined status to your remote location

Mobile credit card reader flexibility for Pennsylvania Business

Any business that completes sales on the road or at varying remote locations benefits from a mobile credit card reader. Today, the idea of carrying cash is foreign to consumers. Additionally, if you are selling high ticket items you won’t lose revenue to a cash buyer because of cash on hand, instead you can close the customer on a credit card sale.

Other advantages of mobile credit card readers are enabling a sales force to maintain contact with customers on the sales floor. A well-trained salesperson with the capability to process payments on the spot means they give customer seamless service from discovery to close.
